With apologies to Randy Newman ...

	No one likes us,
	I don't know why ...
	We may not be perfect,
	But heaven knows we try ...

	And all around, even our old friends put us down,
	Let's drop the big one, and see what happens ...

	Well Asia's crowded, and Europe's too old,
	Africa is far too hot, and Canada's too cold,
	Let's drop the big one, and see what happens ...

	We'll save Australia, 
	Don't want to hurt no kangararoo ...
	We'll build an All-American amusement park there,
	They've got surfin' too !

	Boom goes London, and boom Paree,
	More room for you and more room for me,
	And every city, the whole world round,
	Will just be another American town ...

	Oh, how peaceful it'll be,
	We'll set everybody free,
	There'll be Japanese kimono's baby,
	And Italian shoes for me.

	They all hate us anyhow,
	So let's drop the big one now ...
	Lets drop the big one now ...

				Randy Newman
